An Heirloom Marriage of Brandywine and Big Dwarf! 

  

Flavorful, heavy yielding, and so vigorous! 

78 days from setting out transplants. Indeterminate. 

Now you can enjoy the rich flavor and exceptional homegrown look of heirloom tomatoes plus the earliness, vigor, and high fruit quality of modern hybrids . . . in one! Big Brandy is part of the Heirloom Marriage series, a cross of the heirloom varieties Brandywine and Big Dwarf. The result is flavorful, aromatic pink beefsteaks that finish fast and keep going all season on super-vigorous plants! 

  

Big Brandy gets its unusual pink color from both parents, as well as the beefsteak size of its 12- to 15-ounce fruits. Boasting a wonderfully knobby, lobed look and bursting with rich tomato fragrance, they are the essence of heirloom goodness: richly flavored, irregular, and packed with real tomato tang. Yet they look like modern hybrids in that the fruit is smooth, glossy, and unblemished. it's the best of both worlds! 

  

Expect Big Brandy to begin setting fruit early and to keep going all season on vigorous indeterminate plants. This is one you'll turn to whenever you need an "emergency" tomato to slice onto a sandwich or complete a salad, because this robust plant is likely to have one or two ripening fruits tucked away somewhere that you haven't even noticed -- that's how productive it is! 

  

Start seeds indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last frost date. Plant outdoors when danger of frost is past and night temperatures consistently remain above 55 degrees F. If an unexpected late frost is forecasted, protect young plants with plastic sheeting or other cover. Set plants 2 to 2½ feet apart.
